Relationship between estimated and measured fruit volume of the 12 cross-validation test fruits.
Circles are the volume estimates calculated using the full data set equations and the crosses are the estimates calculated using the cross-validation training dataset equations. On Fig 5, the letter E, F, H, N, R and M refers Ettinger, Fuerte, Hass, Nabal, Reed and Mixed cultivar data.
